Go, #fediverse, go!

You know how #socialmedia distort our perception of reality and our expectations, and make us feel frustrated and miserable, because many individual users, most algorithms, and everyone who's trying to sell something routinely script, set up, pick, filter, retouch and tweak what they share so that their lives seem amazing…?

Well, something like this might be the epitome of that — at least for guys.

I hate it when I stumble upon yet another seemingly reasonable and well-argued article downplaying #covid (I think it's a dangerous epidemic), sceptical of covid #vaccines (I got my two shots), or debunking #bitcoin (I am long on #crypto).

This epistemic uncertainty is killing me.
